Sense April of 2018. Myself and my three children have been staying here at the motel we have a one room 2 beds nice size bathroom for the walk-in closet and a full-size kitchen you pay a weekly rate and it's great until we can move into our own place very quiet and peaceful.
Bella Vista Inn motel is a much older Motel although it's very affordable and it has a beautiful ocean view out in front of you like Lavista and means the view and it's quite quiet no problems normally it's pretty sufficient with the funds in which you can get for your money it's pretty decent I like it and their management is wonderful
Was able to make it feel like home when we were looking for a house. The manager was very nice let the kids play in the parking area when it was safe. Met a lot of nice people. They rent to upstanding people. Loved every minute there. And would go back if ever needed too.
I stayed here in 2016 and it was nice and clean and the owners were very nice people. I plan on going back whenever I need a room.
Had a great time here last week. For the money I paid I was very happy with my room for the two nights in was there. Waking up to seeing the Pacific Ocean was breathtaking. Love the view and town. I would recommend t his place for a cheap price.
